WHITECHRISTMAS audi­tions are com­ing up on Sep­tem­ber 9th and 10th with call­backs on the 11th. All audi­tions will be at 6:30 at the The­atre. If you are called back, there will be songs from the show that you will be asked to sing. The songs have been cho­sen by char­ac­ter, so it might be a good idea to famil­iar­ize your­self with these songs. They are all avail­able through www.musicnotes.com. You can also choose the key that you would like the song in by click­ing on “trans­pose” The fol­low­ing list are the songs by char­ac­ter and the keys that they are in.

Lots of peo­ple have been ask­ing me about Irv­ing Berlin songs to sing for audi­tions. There are many that are musi­cal the­atre stan­dards, but here are a few char­ac­ter spe­cific choices that you may make:For Bob and Phil:White Christ­mas
Let Your­self Go
How Deep is the Ocean?
Blue SkiesFor Betty:
Love, You Didn’t Do Right Be Me
Sis­tersFor Judy:
I Love a Piano
Sis­tersFor Martha:
Falling Out of Love Can Be Fun
Let Me Sing and I’m HappyFor Susan:Let Me Sing and I’m Happy

You don’t have to sing one of these songs, how­ever for the lead roles, it wouldn’t hurt. We will prob­a­bly be using them for call­backs. They are all on the cast album, which is avail­able from www.amazon.com
For all other roles, any Irv­ing Berlin song would be great!
Look­ing for­ward to see­ing lots of folks at the audi­tions.
Remem­ber, Bring sheet music or CD. NOHAPPYBIRTHDAY’S WILLBEALLOWED! Be pre­pared to dance, jazz and tap. 42NDSTREET tap­pers, come on down!!!!! ALLAREWELCOME!

SCT, JR. is Stock­ton Civic Theatre’s sum­mer con­ser­va­tory pro­gram for young peo­ple. This won­der­ful pro­gram is for stu­dents from third grade all the way through high school. This past week­end audi­ences were treated to a won­der­ful pro­duc­tion of Disney’s THELITTLEMERMAID, JR. The pro­gram is directed by Dom­i­nee Muller Kim­ball, and her col­lab­o­ra­tors are Judy Caru­son Willam­son as Chore­o­g­ra­pher, and Paul Kim­ball as Musi­cal Direc­tor. They have been a team for the last four or five years. Carol Barry made her debut as Scenic Designer, and a beau­ti­ful set it was. Terry Smith pro­vided the mag­i­cal light­ing, and Carol Myrick and Kathie Dixon pro­vided the 90 cos­tumes for the pro­duc­tion. All 6 per­for­mances were SOLDOUT! mak­ing this the most suc­cess­ful pro­duc­tion of SCT Jr. thus far! This would not hap­pen with­out the tremen­dous sup­port from the fam­i­lies of the stu­dents, who all will­ingly were avail­able for any task they were needed for.

SCT Jr. hap­pens every year, start­ing in June and end­ing the first week­end in August with their pro­duc­tion per­for­mances. Appli­ca­tions are avail­able start­ing in April.

Even with every seat filled at every per­for­mance, ticket sales pay for only about 70% of the cost of pro­duc­ing a show. You can help elim­i­nate this fund­ing deficit by donat­ing $10 or more directly to SCT, a 501c3 non­profit orga­ni­za­tion. Thank you!
